High-Performance Wire Cloth Solutions
Wire cloth, also known as woven wire mesh, is a sheet of fabric-insulated electrical wire that offers versatility across several industries. Wire cloth is manufactured by weaving and welding together electrical wire, either in a grid formation or at the strongest interlocking points, and provides airflow and durability.
Wire cloth is often used in industrial and architectural industries for screening, filtration and even functional decoration. The material offers a wide variety of benefits that make it equally strong and stylish. At Argus Steel, we are committed to offering only the highest-quality wire cloth that is durable, effective and long-lasting for every industry.
Our Wire Cloth Types
We offer several types of wire cloth.
Woven Wire Mesh
Woven wire mesh is manufactured by carefully weaving and interlocking electrical wires using industrial-quality looms. This method of creating galvanized steel welded wire mesh is extremely popular. It offers precision and control, which are perfect for filtration and screening purposes. Our woven wire mesh solutions are also versatile, often used in industrial processing and architectural plants.
Welded Wire Mesh
Welded wire mesh is manufactured through wire mesh welding. The process involves carefully and securely welding the strongest points of the wire together, creating a rigid and versatile mesh grid. Welded wire instead of woven wire is ideal for protection and reinforcement use cases. Our galvanized steel welded wire mesh is often used in security, and is strong enough for industrial screening due to its durable design.
Woven Wire vs. Welded Wire
The biggest difference between woven and welded wire is how the materials are constructed. The manufacturing process provides different benefits based on your requirements. Woven wire is better for uneven ground or shapes as it’s both flexible and strong. You can use it for animal pens, decorative fencing and sifting applications.
Welded wire is more rigid than woven wire but holds its shape well. It’s stronger and resists impacts, which makes it ideal for projects where you need larger and stable panels such as security fences, machine guards and heavy-duty enclosures.
How to Choose a Wire Cloth Type
Which type of wire cloth you need depends on several factors, including your industry, daily work and the nature of your projects. When deciding on a wire cloth type, consider:
- What type of material do you handle?
- Do you need precise, controlled openings?
- Do you need corrosion or heat resistance or both?
- Are strength and durability major factors?
- What material do you want your wire cloth to be?
Depending on the type of materials you handle, the temperature of your facility, how strong you need the wire cloth to be and the risk of corrosion, you will need specific wire cloth requirements.
